Apart from cyclical events, big festivals and star-studded concerts, Warsaw is also home to many smaller, but equally interesting events. Usually they are announced with a week’s notice. To obtain information on the current repertoire of cultural events, check out the following sources:



URBAN LIFE

Current events, restaurant reviews, exhibition previews, trivia on Polish history and tradition next to articles on Warsaw’s urban life. Useful map of the city centre and practical info.
Free, available in hotels and restaurants.

Warsaw in your pocket – magazine/city guide, part of the In your pocket series covering all major European cities, updated every two months. Current information and advice on every aspect of urban life from eating and drinking to churches and gay clubs. Plus ads of the most expensive restaurants and hotels.

Warsaw Insider – focused on the feminine side of the city – from toddler-friendly cafes to lesbian-friendly clubs. Sophisticated graphic design. Most of the contributors are Warsaw-based expats, so expect lots of useful insider information on English-speaking dentists or AA therapy groups.
